Hi,
yes, my BIOS supports legacy keyboard emulation of USB keyboard (seen during
power-up).
Just bear in mind that I have a W2k partition on same disk and it works fine as
well as it did it with 7.1. Problems started with 7.2 7.3 and now with 8.0.
Let me know if you need more infos.

In a Compaq Presario 1500 (version 1525EA) the install Red Hat Linux 8.0
process hangs while detecting the partitions (during the kernel boot); with RH
7.2 it installs but I can't put the display to work (although I didn't try the
framebuffer solution...)

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.
The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases,
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
